Parks & Recreation

The Alton Parks and Recreation Department creates community through people, parks and programs. We also maintain the public parks and recreational facilities and Town buildings and grounds. Check out our list of activities for all ages and the Town recreational facilities available in our great community. For more information or to schedule a tour of the park facilities please contact us.

REGISTER EARLY FOR PROGRAMS - MINIMUM ENROLLMENT REQUIRED

In an effort to keep program fees as low as possible, minimum enrollment numbers have been established. It is critical for everyone to sign up early! There are times that programs or classes will be canceled if there are not enough registrants. This decision must be made by the deadline of the program, so that those who have signed up can be notified. Please adhere to program deadlines and register early. All participants must be pre-registered for programs, unless otherwise noted.

MAIL-IN REGISTRATION

Complete the registration form and mail it, along with your check or money order (payable to “Town of Alton”) to: Alton Parks and Recreation Department, PO Box 659, Alton, NH 03809. Please do not send cash. For a returned receipt, please include a self-addressed envelope.

WALK-IN REGISTRATION

Complete the registration form and bring it, along with your check or money order (payable to “Town of Alton”) to the Parks and Recreation Department building located at 328 Main Street (AVAS Public Park) on Route 11 across from Levey Park. Lobby hours are 7:00am-3:30pm, Monday through Friday. There is a 24-hour mail slot for registration drop-off. There is also a kiosk which contains extra registration forms and community information.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Limited scholarships are available and must be applied for in advance. Applicants will need to provide evidence of financial need. Please contact the office for more information.

REFUNDS

Because the decision to conduct a program is based on the enrollment number at the first class, refunds are not guaranteed after the first meeting of the class. Refunds will be issued if participants cancel before the activity begins, minus a $5.00 processing fee. Please note, it takes two weeks to process a refund. If a program is full or canceled, you will be contacted.
